The Zonta Accessible Playground was officially opened on June 8, 2001, in heart of downtown Mississauga — Rathburn just west of City Centre. The project was funded by the City of Mississauga, Trillium Foundation, and supported by the government of Ontario and private donations. This innovative playground has received numerous accolades and was featured in Canadian Living Magazine in 2002.

It is a fully accessible. Physically challenged children and/or parents are able to engage in play activities with their able-bodied peers in a community park environment. The architects designed a “River of the Senses” theme with “zones of play” to stimulate many of the senses — including touch, smell, sight and hearing.
